Replying to Jasraj Hallan (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, this Liberal Prime Minister racks up the national credit card, because he knows Canadians have to foot the bill. Despite all the Liberal illusions, it is more costs, more taxes, more debt and more on the national credit card, all by the same old costly Liberals. Every time these guys say they are going to change, they end up racking up more on the national credit card, now leaving Canadians with $1-trillion debt bill over the lost Liberal decade. Does the Prime Minister know this is Canadians’ money, not his, or does he just not care?”
